two suggestions,
1: cut the stencil hole with a thermal image (4 quadrants). this
allows the paste to collect on the plated perimeter without
allowing paste through the centre.
2: Allow the hole to fill 100% but fit an underside support pin the
same diameter of the plated hole.
When the board releases from the pin a paste vortex will be
formed taken the shape of a cone.
